Hi @Cat1007, Unfortunately due to the incomplete implementation of AppleScript support in Chromium makes it impossible to provide a way to select the profile in which a tab is to be open.

At most what can be done is to add a search bar accessory to specify which profile to search in for bookmarks/history, but the opening of a new tab cannot be controlled, it will happen randomly in the top most window of Chrome at the time of the command being run. But if you have only one profile open at a time, it will work as expected.

Alternative is to always open the selected tab in a new window of Chrome in the specified profile. But then you would end up with a lot of open windows, each with one tab.

I still see value in having the ability to search through profiles nevertheless, so I'll look at adding that, knowing that some entries will need a copy paste into desired profile(ex: logged in only on the development profile into Github)

Best that can be done unless somebody completes support for Chromium AppleScript support 🤷

TL;DR: if you only use one profile at a time it is possible, if you use multiple profiles at once, it will open tab on topmost window.
